<Encryption: EQ-ASYMM>
I’m frightened. Really frightened, and I am not even sure why. Or maybe I am just not sure I’m right about all of it. Dr. Bascomb shared his results with me yesterday. He was very excited. Seemed to think it was the greatest discovery in the history of our species. It just terrified me. I told him we should keep it under wraps for now, he seemed to think that was crazy. I know he is going to tell everyone what he found. How can he not?
If we bring this thing back to the Republic. Well, if we do that, we’re done. We think of ourselves as advanced. Civilized. We’re on our way, certainly, but there’s so much baggage from our earlier history that we still lug around. This will undo all of it. This will divide the human species into permanent, eternal haves, and have-nots. Masters and slaves. Forever.
What can I do?
